Weight and height norms of 5-10 years old children of upper socio-economic status.
One thousand and twenty four school children (574 boys and 450 girls) between the ages of 5-10 years, belonging to upper socio-economic status were cross sectionally studied to establish regional weight and height norms. The boys were heavier till the age of 9 years while the girls were heavier than boys beyond that age. The boys were taller than the girls between 5-9 years and thereafter the girls over took the boys.
